Unless the average reader has a device that has a 'night mode' or some other override that an image might not follw in the same manner, they remain oblivious to messy code .
When reading one of Terry Pratchett's books with the golem's language using an Enochian alphabet, when my daughter was reading with her font size choice, the images were about 33% larger than the surrounding text. When I was reading, the images size was about 20% smaller than the surrounding font. Yes, you can make the image match the text size but that was not done (back to sloppy coding). I'll skip the inability to break the image of a text string in the middle which led to some interesting justification.

Not everyone might notice this but both of us did.
